Comment: If (?) this really is an album, then you need to show how this meets WP:NALBUM, because the sources currently cited fall far short of satisfying WP:GNG notability. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Honestly, I am not sure what exactly this is supposed to be, the lead is confusing. TheBritinator (talk) 16:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Sleep Next To Plastic is the fourth compilation album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 05 July 2022 through Columbia Records.[1]
This compilation was initially was released on Spotify and then expanded to include all other streaming services and also made available for purchase as a digital album.
“Cover version have always offered us a chance to pay direct, public tribute to records we grew up obsessing over, be that C86 bands or artists as diverse as Madonna, John Cale and Paul Robeson,” the band say. “Collectively, these covers are a heartfelt musical tribute to our formative influences.”[2]
Spanning the entire career of the band the songs are an insight into the influences and tastes of the band. Many of the tracks are live recordings courtesy of the BBC. While the full list of 37 songs was primarily only available in that format on Spotify, presumably due to licensing issues for previously released songs, most other services provided an Exclusives subset tracklisting[3] of all the previously unreleased songs.
Note that the Exclusives tracklist includes Vision Blurred, Wake Up Alone, Under My Wheels, and The Instrumental which all in fact had been previously released.
